Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Note-Book of the Shelley Society, Vol. 1 The Rev. Stopford Brooke, in stating the objects of the Society, said that the humour of about a hundred persons might alone be considered a good reason for the existence of any Society whatever, but the founders of the Shelley Society desired to connect together all that would throw light on the poets personality and his work, to ascertain the truth about him, to issue reprints, and above all to do something to further the objects of Shelley's life and work, and perhaps to better understand and love a genius which was ignored and abused in his own time, but which had risen from the grave into which the critics had trampled it to live in the hearts of men. There are those, however, the lecturer continued, who do not love Shelley's poetry. Mr. Matthew Arnold finds in it an incurable want of sound subject-matter, and consequently a large element of unsubstantially. He considers a volume of selections from Wordsworth or Byron of far more value than a similar selection from Shelley. Others are of opinion that the comparison of such selections really proves Mr. Arnold to be in the wrong. Byron is inferior to Shelley in what Mr. Arnold calls true seriousness of substance and manner, as well as in felicity of diction. As a serious attempt to grasp the problem of good and evil, Byron's "Cain" cannot bear comparison with "Prometheus Unbound" Byron was rarely true to himself; and this lack of sincerity will always prevent the world from loving him as it loves Shelley. The high praise which Shelley gave to Byron did not imply that he had not detected the weaknesses of Byron's work. Shelley's remark that Cain was the finest thing in poetry since "Paradise Regained" evinces his hatred of orthodox religion rather than his critical acumen. He had no such unreserved opinion as Mr. Arnold imagines about Byron's work. He by no means approved of Byron's poetic method, and was indignant with the spirit that animated "Childe Harold," regarding the life and temper of Byron at the time of which he wrote as an insane and self-willed folly, in which he deliberately hardened himself. In short, Shelley did not consider Byron possessed the qualities which make a poet consistently great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shelley Society's Papers, Vol. 1: Being the Part of the First Volume As to truth to human nature - I have elsewhere said that when Shelley wrote about himself, he described, a certain vague, sceptical, discontented, aspiring, and de pressed condition of human life which has a great interest for us at the present time, because so many of us share in it, and among these some of his critics. But it is a condition of which he himself strongly disapproves. The preface to Alastor is enough to allege as evidence of this disapproval. He wrote that poem in order to get rid of this condition, and so far the matter of the poem was serious. Another set of his poems, those which belong to love, to regrets, to metaphysical passion, cannot be said to be serious in substance. They are woven of ether and fine fire, but nevertheless they are true to human nature, to many passing phases of feeling, and no one else has embodied these phases. Our life is not all passed in the realm of realities, of simple sorrows and joys. We are often such stuff as dreams are made of, and we suffer and rejoice as much in our dreams as in that which we call real life. If, however, all Shelley's poetry consisted of this cloudland, of this ethereal work, we might fairly blame him, but it did not. We accept this side then of his work, and are grateful to him for ex pressing that in us which no English poet has ever expressed so well as himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shelley, Vol. 1: The Man and the Poet Shelley's poetry will endure while the English language lasts. More than thirty years ago an English critic testified to the profound Influence of his genius on contemporary poets. Imitation of Shelley is obvious, wrote one of his biographers in 1850, in the majority of the eminent poets of this century. That his influence has become even more marked Since then is sufficiently proved by naming Tennyson, Browning, and Swinburne.
